Phil O'Keefe Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 staying in tune > floating trem This. I have pretty much always slammed my vibrato all the way down flat to the body on my Strats; either with three springs and a tightened claw, or even via five springs. I occasionally use the bar to wobble the pitch (downwards), but not that often. Since I bend notes against held notes a LOT more often, I'd rather have the vibrato TIGHT so the held note doesn't go flat as I'm bending the other note.

I just never used them. When I was younger I noticed that, when playing and I ran out of ideas, I would just hit the bar and not think. I gave them up because of that and the tuning issue. I also found tone and sustained improved, how much depended on each guitar. If I need to use a trem I have an Ibanez RG420CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SylphCo. Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 ooooh god im kumming! And it only cost me $600, which is about the same price as a new Squier. It also now has a Fishman piezo bridge, and a magnetic/piezo switch in the gap there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mike.sartori Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 I should really get better pictures. It's a Warmoth, reranch finish, callaham hardware, duncan's, plus a tremsetter, which actually works really well and now allows me to use a floating tremolo with no fear. Electronics are master volume and tone, with a master mid-cut circuit. Way more useful than the stock setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
